Mindarie Resource Recovery Facility – Mindarie (WA) 2009
|
Peak Industrial Electrical undertook the full scale electrical and instrumentation installation for this 100,000-tonne per annum waste recovery process plant. The power for this complex project included a 22kV HV distribution to three transformers across a five hectare site for a total installed capacity of 4.5MVA; and the LV distribution included a ring main control, which was transmitted through the three main LV switch-rooms. The process control included a fully automated system which utilised Siemens PLC and Profibus-connected networks as well as a SCADA system, to allow for communication via industrial Ethernet. The system enables control of the automated aerobic maturation, humidification and bio-filtration odour management systems, as well as the various inload, outload, and materials handling functions required for the movement of the waste through the various stages of the process. A range of specialised equipment which included compost turners, granulators, trommels were combined to achieve the various levels of screening and materials separation to convert municipal waste into compost and recyclable by-products.
